Cape Town - The Renaissance Lagos Ikeja Hotel is the first for the Marriott International brand in sub-Saharan Africa. A statement from Renaissance released on Monday said the hotel in Nigeria’s commercial centre “offers world-class amenities, modern aesthetic, sophisticated service and unique programming that reflect the brand’s signature approach to feed the curiosity, fuel the imagination and excite the senses of its guests”.  

Mark Satterfield, chief operating officer for Middle East and Africa for Marriott International said: “This is not just a landmark signing for Renaissance Hotels but also for Marriott International as it marks our fourth debut in an African nation, following the opening of Marriott International properties across a number of its brands in Ethiopia, Rwanda and Morocco.”
